Request for Departmental Support of Faculty Directed House Staff Research

The opportunity for residents and fellows to perform research under the direction of a faculty mentor is an important part of house staff training. Since funds are often necessary to facilitate these research opportunities, this program is intended to provide small awards as needed. Please click on the link below for either a new request or for a second year request. The application must be completed and submitted by the faculty mentor, although participation of the resident or fellow is encouraged.

Since research projects carried out by a trainee-faculty team are often conceived at the initiation of a rotation or fellowship, they can be difficult to plan for during the annual budget cycle. Applications can therefore be submitted throughout the year and will be quickly evaluated by the Research Advisory Committee and Dr. Karandikar. If approved, faculty will receive a new MFK specific for the award.
